When I click the Powershell icon, it comes up with a blue background and a certain look. If I run Powershell from a batch file, it comes up with a black background that looks like cmd.exe. Is there a way to run Powershell from a batch file such that it looks normal rather than like cmd? I got really close by using start at the beginning. So the batch file is: start powershell -noexit -command "cd 'C:\Myscripts\start path'" But that creates a Powershell window that is larger with larger font. It just looks stretched out. I just want to double-click on an icon and get a totally normal looking powershell window that ran the specified command when launched.

This default color, which you think is normal, is likely changed from this blue background to the same color schema as the Command Prompt.
One reason is the development of Windows Terminal, which has it's own Color Schemes
Also: Windows Terminal as your Default Command Line Experience, which is a setting to start Windows Terminal, on no longer Command Prompt or Powershell, or another terminal app
P.S. There is a color scheme named Campbell Powershell, which probably has your favorite color-scheme.
